Cardinals put Jonathan Cooper on IR, cut 13

The team announced they put the seventh overall pick on season-ending injured reserve, among other transactions today.

“Based on the medical prognosis and weighing all of the other factors, we decided that placing him on IR made the most sense for the team and for Jonathan,” General Manager Steve Keim said in a release provided by the team. ” Knowing his work ethic and commitment, we have no doubt Jonathan will come out of this experience fully ready to be a key contributor next season and for many more beyond that.”

The only real surprise for me in these initial cuts was David Carter. He can play both the inside & outside on the D-line. I thought he played well enough yesterday with a forced fumble & a few chase down tackles to secure a roster spot.
